Unearthed design of the 1950′s
mikeyashworth on flickr has an interesting photostream of old 1950′s design. The most impressive of which are photos, taken officially by London Underground, of posters in Notting Hill Gate tube station, London, which hadn’t seen the light of day for many decades. He writes:
Work at the station has recently uncovered these amazing advertising posters in non-public areas and that date from c1956 – 1959 when the station’s lifts were removed and replaced by escalators. These are in an old lift passageway and will be safe.
Check out more photos, along with scans of mid 20th Century design.
